Players making hidden rolls

Pretty self explanatory here.  I am wondering if players can hide their rolls from others with either chat commands or the dice tool.  GM's can do it with the dice tool.  I am looking for a way for the players to do the same.  The reason is the players are engaging in a dice game and need to hide their dice until the bets are received, then they must reveal their dice to see who wins the hand.

As The Aaron mentioned, /gmroll or /w commands will do the trick, and then, since you're a Pro sub, you could use the unWhisper API script to reveal things... This gets a bit more complicated (probably more than it needs to be, but for non-API...perhaps have decks of cards to represent the dice. Then you could deal cards to the players and they can reveal at the appropriate time. The problem with this is is you'd need a deck for each die + player. For example, if each person needs to roll three d6s, you'd need there decks of six cards for each player, they'd draw a card from each of the three decks, then they could reveal their hands at the end.

The Aaron said: They can whisper rolls to themselves, but then the question becohh my ex how do they reveal them.  If the rolls show up for the players in the chat window, can they then drag them onto the VTT? Also...I'm having some trouble finding the unWhisper  API on the dropdown list of API's....

I forgot about dragging stuff to the desktop...I was able to do that from a Whisper, but I don't know if anyone could see it, but the GM...? As for the unWhisper, I don't think it's on the One-click install, but the details are here:&nbsp;<a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/10613361/script-unwhisper-send-a-private-gm-message-to-chat" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/10613361/script-unwhisper-send-a-private-gm-message-to-chat</a>
